The old mansion stood silent beneath the heavy grey rain. Detective Miller walked quickly into that very dark empty room. The cold wind blew through broken glass and old pane. The body lay face down upon the cold dusty floor. Detective Miller noticed a knife near the victim's right hand. No one had entered the room since the clock struck midnight. Blood stained the rug beneath the heavy velvet drapes. A single red candle burned in the corner of room. Detective Miller knelt beside the still and lifeless form. The air grew colder as the detective began his work. Shadows stretched long across the floorboards in the dark room. Silence filled the air except for the ticking clock. Detective Miller searched the pockets for any identifying documents. A crumpled letter was found inside the dead man's coat. It held a message that could never be read aloud. Fear gripped the detective as he realized the stakes. Someone else must have been in this room recently. The clock struck thirteen, a sign of wrong timing. Detective Miller looked up at the ceiling for clues. A loose tile hid a key to the locked drawer. He opened the drawer to reveal a small red box. Inside the box sat a photograph of the victim's wife. She was smiling in a photo taken years ago. Detective Miller knew the killer was close to the house. The rain continued to fall against the broken glass pane.
